Broken Leg

I fell yesterday and broke both bones in my leg just above my ankle last night and had to have surgery. I am in the hospital and thus unable to get any posts up.

  66. Ouch! I can totally sympathize because I did the same thing in March 2010. I basically broke my foot off right above the ankle. It sounds like yours is pretty similar so now you probably have metal in yours. I just got mine taken out in January (was supposed to have it out last March but was prego). If yours is the same as mine I'm afraid you're in for a long road to recovery. I know I was in a wheelchair for about 6 months & I did physical therapy for at least 6 months as well.

    I hope that your recovery goes a lot faster than mine did :)
